Are you a Peeps peep? Or do you crave Cadbury Creme Eggs? Jonesing for some Jelly Bellies in your belly, or are Reese's Peanut Butter Eggs the perfect pick for your basket? Tell us your favorite Easter treat in our poll below.

You might have thought Halloween was the biggest candy buying holiday, but you'd be off by about six months. Easter has eclipsed the spooky season when it comes to how much we'll shell out for chocolate and sugary sweet treats.

According to the National Retail Federation, American's spent $2.4 billion on Easter candy in 2016, a whopping $300 million more than they spent for trick-or-treaters.

And the best seller and most popular candy filling all those Easter baskets is Reese's Mini Peanut Butter Eggs. A recent RetailMeNot survey showed that the winning combination of chocolate and peanut butter in bite-size egg form, beat out the perennial favorite Peeps, along with jelly beans and chocolate bunnies.
